Immigration Panel Discussion - Adam Hub

​This panel discussion brings together leading researchers, former civil servants, and policy experts for substantive conversation on whether Britain's immigration system is fundamentally broken or merely politically contentious. The event will convene Stuart Skeates CB CBE, former Director General of the Home Office, Professor Alan Manning from LSE, Dr Heather Rolfe from British Future, Robert McNeil from the Oxford Migration Observatory, and Michael McManus from the Henry Jackson Society in a Question Time format to explore whether integration has worked over the past 20 years, how to reconcile business demands for migrant workers with public desire for lower numbers, what enforcement actually looks like beyond political promises, and what practical policy changes each expert would prioritise.

​By hosting this conversation, the Adam Hub demonstrates its commitment to convening voices from across the political and analytical spectrum for constructive dialogue on one of Britain's most polarised issues. The event positions the Hub as neutral ground where immigration can be discussed with evidence rather than soundbites, models how difficult conversations can be conducted in good faith when genuine disagreement exists and invites attendees to understand the actual trade-offs and constraints facing policymakers.
